For all of those who work in the Public Sector, you can almost guarantee that they are working under professional guidelines and are accountable to a professional body of some description. How is it that a person can set up a Paranormal Events Company and have nobody to answer to except themselves? Apart from anything else, the public that you are working with will be completely out of their comfort zone and the whole experience is fraught with some quite serious complications. Obviously for those companies who are reputable they will have their own public liability insurance and ensure that they are covered in that sense. However, there is so much more to running an event with the public than...

Who else wants to become more psychic? Does the idea of astral projection appeal to you? How about having your first out of body experience, or even developing the ability to MOVE items with your mind! (don't laugh... PK is a well known ability that many special people develop and I'm NOT talking about in the movies.) I've been practicing some amazing psychic exercises over the last 8 months or so, and if I told you the sorts of experiences I've been able to have, the simple truth is that you wouldn't believe me! So rather than try to convince you of MY abilities, I'm going to share with you the very simple technique i used to become FAR more psychic, much more spiritually aware, and FAR more...

Loyd Auerbach, Director of the Office of Paranormal Investigations, says that history may be dead, so ghost hauntings often rely on the living to act as witnesses of the past. "Hauntings actually show that we are all psychic receivers (clairvoyant) to some degree," says Auerbach. "In haunting cases, people report seeing (or hearing, feeling or even smelling) a presence (or several) that is typically engaged in some sort of activity. You might think of a haunting as a loop of video or audio tape playing itself over and over for you to watch." However, these residual spirits aren't the only type of paranormal spirits you may encounter. A residual ghost haunting is commonly connected with a tragic...

The public is hungry for genuine evidence of paranormal spirits. Surely individuals who have had paranormal experiences believe in the authenticity of the spiritual world, but for the most part, people remain skeptical. Photographs and video cameras offer exciting, innovative ways to document concrete evidence of apparitions and it is truly every spirit hunter's dream to capture such telling proof to validate their ghost stories. Unfortunately, for every "real" spirit photo, there are fifty fakes, and it can be difficult to distinguish legitimacy, especially now that there are such advanced photo-editing programs on computers. That being said, the following ghosts are said to be some of the most...

Paranormal Investigating - Then and Now

Paranormal investigating has been performed since the late 19th century with the formation of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Much of the procedures performed in those days can still be found in paranormal investigations today. The members of the SPR would interview witnesses, gather information, and keep well organized records of each incident. There was however, no EMF detectors, EVP recordings, or any other electrical ghost hunting device you may have seen or heard about modern paranormal investigators using. The use of technology gradually found it's way into the paranormal field over the past century. The first individual to use current technology during a paranormal investigation was...

'Walls which housed dark tales of ominous shadows - slinking from room to room and claiming the sanity of all who defied their instincts and entered with skepticism through the sombre doors.'

If you're interested in ghost hunts, you're not alone. A lot of people wonder if we are alone or if "something else" is out there. There are people, however, who are sure that there is something out there because they've experienced paranormal events themselves. Some want to have a seance and contact a deceased individual, some enjoy dabbling with the Ouija board. Some want to visit a haunted house and see if they can capture anything on film. Some people are interested in all sorts of different paranormal activity and plan to sit, in wait, in an area that's known for paranormal activity to see if they can spot anything. If you're someone who watches this stuff on TV and who loves reading about it...

The image and perception of a ghost has taken on so many attributes and illusions over the centuries that it is difficult to distinguish the difference as to what is and what isn't a true haunting. For some, a ghostly image may be that of a glowing translucent figure that ominously floats from one room of a house to the next, apparently searching for something or someone, unaware of their own demise. For others, poltergeists are demonic or evil entities that spend their eternal days and nights thinking of ways to torture, frighten and manipulate the innocent human beings that happened upon unfortunate territories. The notion is foolish to skeptics who think that a phantom could be nothing more than...

Chapter one: Baby on the doorstep. It was one of those cold and dark winter nights of England when someone knocks on Dr. Peterson's door. He and his wife were deep asleep in their warm bed when he hears the knock. He wakes up and heads for the door. His wife wakes up as she felt him leave the bed. Kate: "What is it, Honey?" Daniel: "I heard someone knocking on the door; I'm going to see who it is." Kate: "It's half past midnight, I wonder who that can be." Daniel: "I'll go see." Daniel goes, opens the door and freezes in his tracks out of terror. His wife follows him a couple of minutes later and freezes in her tracks also. What they saw was a very bright light in front of their house this light...

Parapsychology is the study of supernatural events including esp, consciousness after death, and the ability to see through objects. The science can help you answer the question - am I psychic? It can help you whether or not you are clairvoyant and whether or not you have psychic ability. Parapsychology is often referred to as a pseudo science, even though it is studied by the military. Experiments conducted by parapsychologists have included the use of random number generators to test for evidence of being able to predict the future. The random generator configures the numbers and the psychics must guess what the next number is going to be. Parapsychology is also tested using sensory-deprivation...

Stephen King's mini-series "Rose Red" was a story about a mansion that looked the same from the outside, but kept expanding to new rooms on the inside, as directed by spirits. Believe it or not, this paranormal story was loosely based on fact. The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California was under perpetual construction for 38 years and features a number of mad design elements, like stairs that go to nowhere, doors that drop off to landscaping below and double-back hallways. Some say this story is not so much about spirits themselves -- but rather, a tragic tale of how one woman's life was ruled and ruined by her belief in paranormal powers. The story of this paranormal project starts with...

Did Freud Accept Or Reject Mysticism?

In "New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis", Freud discusses his views on mysticism and psychoanalysis. The concept of mysticism has changed throughout the ages. In ancient times, a mystic was one who communed with God. In Freud's world, the word mysticism became an all-inclusive word describing paranormal phenomenon occurring outside the laws of nature and science. Science tended to dismiss or ignore mystical ideas because they were viewed as superstitious, irrational and nonsensical. Freud associated the word mysticism with séances, voices from other worlds, noises, apparitions, levitation, trances and prophecies (Coward, 1977, p. 1). Freud also had a reputation of being hostile to...

There are a couple of broad categories that werewolf chat rooms can be broken down into. These are based on the reality of the situations discussed.

In a fast paced world that we are living in, we frequently regularly showered with lots of burdens from work and our family concurrently. Law of attraction by Abraham Hicks says that this certainly led to soaring stress level like witches in our lives and hence more and more guys are in search of ways to loosen up and relax. The most effectual way to relax, and up till now not quite famous, is guided meditation.

Ten percent of all people globally say they have had an out of body experience at least once in their lives. Most experiences were not intentional and followed a near death experience. Even if you are not a religious person and do not believe in the Immortal Soul, you cannot wish away the phenomenon of "out of body experience." Out of body experiences, or OOBE for short, is is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body. First coined in 1943 by G.N.M Tyrrell in his book Apparitions, this is a globally accepted phenomenon with as many as one in ten people claiming an out of body...

"Well" the man explains "I realize I haven't got long for this world, but if I go to Heaven I'd like to be able to speak to God and the Angels in their own language, and I'd feel more comfortable if I knew some Latin." The Dean thinks, and then asks "But what if you don't go to...

For some, meditation is a highly spiritual practice used to connect one with a higher power or level of consciousness. For others, meditation can be strictly medicinal, in that, it's a clever way to reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Meditation is in fact both. The beauty of this tool is that regardless of who you are and your beliefs, it can be tailor made to suite your needs and desires. In other words, a devoted atheist can be a devoted meditator and receive no spiritual benefit and yet still benefit from meditating. On the other hand, profound spiritual experiences can and do occur with those who take meditation to a different level. I have been on guided meditations that have literally...

A story you may have heard before: a person is found fatally burned with no apparent fuel or ignition source. With no better explanation for how the fire started, investigators conclude that the person must have caught fire spontaneously. Although the details can vary, this story is an urban legend that has surfaced periodically for the past several decades, commonly known as "spontaneous human combustion." This legend does have some basis in reality. There have been several cases over the years where a burned body was found with no apparent ignition source. One of the most common details of these stories is that there was little fire damage to the body's surroundings, giving the appearance that...

Among Carl Jung's most controversial and intriguing ideas was that of synchronicity. Jung observed that we seem to experience "meaningful coincidences" of thoughts and events which do not seem to be causally connected. Jung's most famous example was of a client who was reluctant to believe that her dreams had any sort of importance even though she reported them dutifully. A breakthrough came on the day when she reported a dream in which a scarab beetle played a role and at the same time, a scarab beetle, which was rare in that part of the world, flew in the window and landed between them. The appearance in the real world of the beetle which had appeared in her dream seems to have convinced her that...

In the Chonyid one has to exercise Vairagya and Viveka, or detachment and discrimination--detachment as to what is seen, and discrimination as to what is real and unreal in the unfolding panorama. One has to overcome one's attraction to the images of beauty in this first Chonyid stage as well as to overcome one's repulsion to wrathful and awesome images in the following Chonyid phase. One has to embrace every appearance as a reflection of one's own pure primordial nature. Forms should be seen as illusory, their inner essence, however, should be realized as the essence of Reality.

In an article entitled Disbelief Despite the Evidence in the December-February issue of Shift magazine, from the Institute of Noetic Sciences, author David Fontana discusses why people in the West continue to dispute that there is survival after physical death. His research showed that the acceptance of this concept "has to struggle against four influential groups that, for different reasons, find it challenges their own interests and beliefs and represents a threat to their status and authority." These groups are established science, parapsychology, established religions, and the general public. While this may seem to be a surprising list, each group has its personal concerns. For instance...

Momentum is a crazily powerful thing. Reliving the Piper Alpha disaster (6 July 1988) recently, it was said that one of the key reasons why the two associated rigs (Tartan and Claymore) didn't shut down their colossal gas feeds to the stricken Piper, feeding the fire and explosions, was due to the momentum of production versus the incredible efforts required in regaining full production (momentum) after an emergency shutdown sequence. 167 people died as a result of the Piper Alpha disaster.[1] Momentum, once lost, requires enormous costs and efforts to regain it. Personally, it was apparent to me recently, with struggles 're-starting' a healthy diet regime, that my dreams were awakening me to the...

About half the American people admit to believing in them, and there are ghost beliefs in nearly every culture in the world. People have told ghost stories and reported ghostly encounters for all of recorded history. Today, paranormal investigators are compiling film and audio evidence, and experimenting with changes in electromagnetic fields and temperature in allegedly haunted places to try to determine if there is objective evidence for the existence of something we might identify as a ghost. Growing evidence indicates that there is, indeed,some unexplained...

Sure, Rudy Giuliani would be a great presidential candidate and would very likely make an outstanding President. But he has to weigh his decision to run very carefully with his three wives. He has not only loved as a man might. He has loved three women enough to marry them. Given the neo-Puritanical ethic that seems to haunt much of our current populace, such a frequent vote for marital bliss can hardly be called prudent preparation for the slanderous rigors of contemporary politics. While many who read this commentary will look on his marital mania with understanding or indifference, we must also imagine the field day the other candidates could have bestirring the moderate conscience of much of...

But then he ran into problems with the clerical communities over the same thing, jurisdictional and disciplinary authority. He was actually barred from entering a church by the canons of the Church. When St. Charles would not acquiesce, and persisted in his right to make an Episcopal visit to the Church, soldiers from one of the Spanish...

It is very evident when going on a ghost hunt event that there is a lot of talk about communicating with spirit. Ghosts are also mentioned but it seems that when there is activity it is the word spirit that is used. There is a very big difference between the two entities. A ghost is when the apparition is normally seen and is oblivious to any onlookers. It will behave in a habitual way and will not be impacted by any equipment or attempts to communicate with it. Basically it is unaware of our existence and is stuck in behaviour. A good way to describe it would be if you could imagine doing the same thing at the same time in the same way over a long period of time, like walking to the paper shop...

The Spirit World

Found within the language of the Bible are keys to unlocking the mysteries that surround the locale of the dead. Since the beginning of time, people have witnessed the appearances of ghostly apparitions. Such manifestations can be extremely confusing to those who possess traditional Christian beliefs concerning the post-mortem experience of those who have passed on before us. This confusion is two-fold in nature stemming from translation deficiencies in translating the Bible into English during the year 1611. For example, did you know that the English word "Hell" is used for three different words found in the original Greek text? Each of these words have completely different meanings and depict...

Luciafest --- also known as 'St Lucia Day' or, simply, 'Lucia' --- didn't have its origins in the Christian tradition, but like a number of unique Christian festivals in Europe, it was used to 'meld' their religious message into the lore of a revered pagan legend for the purpose of increasing its own popularity.

Halloween day is not just like any other festival. Being based on both Christian and Celtic rites, the festival tries to bring the ancient and the modern together. For the Celts, the day was an occasion for butchering animals and preserving the meat for harsh winters. These people believed that on October 31 every year, the difference between the dead and the living dissolved and the dead may become deadly to us on that day. Halloween day was envisioned by Celts as an occasion to pacify the raging spirits. Christianity changed the way the festival was celebrated. Now, people, especially kids, dress up in all imaginable costumes and dance around bonfires. Needless to say, most costumes for the...

Everybody loves ghosts; and whether they exist or not, they can never fail to capture people's interest. Who/What Are Ghosts? In the early twentieth century, Drs.
